The UK pledged £1 billion to the 7th Global Fund replenishment in November 2022, to support the fights against AIDs, Tuberculosis and Malaria and to strengthen health systems from 2023-2025. The UK is the third-largest historic donor to the Global Fund.

The UK has supported Gavi since its inception in 2000 and is one of the largest donors to Gavi, committing £1.65 billion for 2021-2025. The UK support has helped Gavi vaccinate more than 1 billion children in 78 lower-income countries, saving over 18 million lives.

The UK wants to see successful Global Fund and Gavi replenishments in 2025. We are considering all our health investments in the round to make strategic funding decisions and maximise impact.
